Surrounded by South Coast beaches and with extensive private decks overlooking a saltwater lagoon – this is a perfect hideaway – a peaceful place for relaxation with a book, or maybe a fishing line.

This lovely western red cedar home designed by leading architect Bert Read and built in 1996, is all about relaxation in an unspoiled Australian landscape – its open plan design and wrap-around floor to ceiling windows bring the landscape in. And along with the landscape, this ergonomic home is designed to capture natural ventilation from all sides via multiple screened doors.

A clever designer kitchen makes catering for family and friends and sharing good times in a wonderful space, a daily affair.

The house has been updated to include ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, ensuite bathrooms, overhead fans and updated kitchen and laundry facilities but retains the Bert Read signature features including the dominating chimney stack and wood-burning stove at its heart to bring added warmth and ambience for the colder months.

Upstairs an expansive mezzanine floor with cathedral ceiling fills with natural light. Here is a spot for those solitary moments or a good game of ‘monopoly’ with the kids as well as a wonderful space for overflow of guests who just won’t want to leave.

Bonus is the electricity infrastructure has been recently upgraded, the area is now connected to the sewer system and the progressive rollout of NBN is currently planned to start in Rosedale in January 2019.

Be the lucky owner and enjoy not only this lovely home but easy access to Rosedale Beach (195m), one of the most beautiful beaches on the South Coast.

This home is ideal for holiday letting, with the guests just loving it, especially as it is only a few short steps to glorious Rosedale Beach. So if you’d like an income as well your own holiday retreat – this recently refurbished house has everything to offer.
